Out of all the traitors in our country currently - those who want TM to be banned are at the bottom of the totem pole. Those who are massacring our youth, women and compatriots are the biggest traitors. They are not in the same realm and universe. I am inspired by the likes of Hamed Esmaeilion. How can you not empathize with him?
I think for many of them - their hearts are in the right place but just are using a bad strategy. If TM boycotting the World Cup means a revolution (democratic, secular gov't in Iran in the long term) - which Iran lover would say no? But it will not lead to that. It will not lead to much except occupy news for a couple days and die down.
Iran winning games will be a reason for everyone to unite and go outside on the streets. Millions at a time, which the regime cannot deal with. TM would serve as a rallying call.
It's a self-defeating proposition and we must communicate that to our fellow hamvatans who want TM to boycott.
